I know you're supposed to feed veggies... but Hannibal does not seem to like her veggies. all she likes is carrots, bananas, and stuff like that... Okay granted I only tried twice to feed her leafy greens... but what would be a plant that she probably won't resist and it's actually healthy for her? I know of a place that I can find wild anachris.

Would tortoise pellets suffice as veggies? D: Maybe I can wean her into that...

You can make your own veggie treats. If you try aquatic plants, they should last longer in there until she eats it. I also like to recommend a veggie clip for them to use. Lastly, I would not use wild plants or prey - contamination and parasites are an issue.

Keep trying.. Sooner or later they will eat a few bites. Mine hasn't eaten much of any type of lettuce in about 8 months, but every-so-often, will take a few bites out of the stem. I offer it to him everyday hoping that that will be the day he decides to start eating it again.

But that's just wasting lettuce. :C

Tell me about it.. lol

There has to be a pelleted food out there that meets the vegetarian requirements of a slider.... In the end its not my fault that she doesnt want to eat veggies like she should. :/ But I hope she lives well.
